Overrated? That's a shoe-in: John Gotti. He might also be a contender for douchiest boss of all time. Everything about the guy screamed douche nozzle.
I'd throw in Nicky Scarfo as well. Obviously an extremely dangerous guy, but way too bloodthirsty for his own good especially in regards to the other crime groups in the area as well as the guys from his own family.
That's going a bit far. I think Gotti was very respected and feared, even liked. He was just not fit to be a boss in a time when LE was all out to get the mob, and had been after him even before he was boss.
Not saying he wasn't tough. Gotti was hardcore LCN through and through. His cockiness though eclipsed that of most other bosses.
Agreed. Plus other than hijacking and loansharking he really didnt understand the other rackets. Truthfully im surprised he is on either list. He was probably one of if not the worst boss ever. Im still convinced if Frankie D didnt die he would of taken over in due time
It was obvious Gotti came from an exclusively blue collar faction of the family. There's a reason why Gambino chose to go with Big Paul, other than the fact they were related. I don't think Neil would've done great as a boss either. He was incredibly tough...I mean, Dellacroce was an almost terrifying presence, but he was slightly lacking in the smarts department.
Cheech had a bit of a gambling itch to scratch. It would've caused him a lot of trouble if he couldn't keep that shit under control as a boss.
